Title: "Theory, Practice and Critique of Meta-regression Analysis in Economics and Management"

Abstract

Purpose: This paper aims to present and describe the main available meta-regression models.

Methodology: We reviewed the literature which, starting from the description of the above-mentioned models, went through the presentation of their specificities in the context of empirical research in economics, management and finance, and culminated in the discussion of their main limitations.

Results: We demonstrated that meta-regression analysis is a methodological framework that allows modeling and correcting problems of publication bias while explaining the great variability of results usually found in the economic literature.

Originality/Value: In a succinct but rigorous way, we give precise indications for the practical implementation of this analytical expedient in the context of economics, management and finance.

 

Keywords: Meta-regression; Meta-analysis; Methodology; Economics; Management; Finance.
